About this ebook
About the Book:
The essence of The Seven Deadly Sins (Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth and Wrath) are captured in this anthology of flash fiction (fiction of extreme brevity) stories!
Written by four amazing writers, their flurry of words and polished sentences reveal each of the 'sins' in a manner unique to each author. Some stories reveal the entrapment in a single scene, others exposed the characters’ fall from grace over a longer period of time.
Over all these short stories accomplish their mission and show off the seven deadly sins in a style that is easy to read and hard not to enjoy.

The Challenge
On December 21, 2008, the gauntlet was thrown down. EDGE publisher Brian Hades challenged us to write seven flash fiction stories — one for each of the deadly sins: Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth and Wrath.
And the deadline? Set deliberately at twenty-five days from the challenge: January 15, 2009.
But why flash fiction? And what was flash fiction anyway? A quick google search and wikipedia.com provided us with the answer: fiction of extreme brevity.
The challenge seemed effortless, not really a challenge at all, but the publisher added one final layer to increase the stakes. We had to write, edit and polish each story in less than thirty minutes. Now, that made it interesting. Could we write seven really short stories in less than 3.5 accumulated hours, spread out over twenty-five days?
Sure. Why not?
But we hadn’t counted on the start of the festive holiday season. Having just accepted the publisher’s challenge, we found ourselves continually pulled into the company of our friends and relatives, completely distracted from the challenge by said people, and left in a mental and near physical coma from eating so much food!
We were out of action for days!
It is possible when you think about it, that the festive season was the perfect time for us to have accepted this sinful
challenge. After all,
